Anyone else having a problem with balance?

I am 31 weeks pregnant and on Tuesday I managed to fall down the stairs. I am really struggling with my balance now. Simple things like getting dressed or getting in the shower are becoming quite scary now. I have never had to rely on anyone like this before and have found it quite stressful because I feel I have lost my independence. I feel like I am a burden at work and look forward to my beautiful boy arriving.
Is anyone else feeling this way?

Hi, yes i know what ur saying. Ive had balance problems / difficulty in walking since i was ten wks preg - im now 32 wks preg. My dr doesnt tink it is pregnancy related tho, he tinks i may av multiple sclerosis. Im hoping it goes once ive had the baby. Feel free to msg me if u want. Love kelly x

hey im 38weeks on monday and ive had exactly the same problem whether it be tripping down the stairs or literally walking in to walls like a drunk person because my balance goes.i cant help it and at times i no it prob drives my partner insane as im just so clumsy but truly hun try not to worry about it,its perfectly normal as our bodies have all that extra weight to cope with now and if your small like myself then that doesnt help the matter at all lol.believe me you are not a burden on anyone,your the one doing all the hard work here,and it wont be for much longer..so hang in there hun xx
